I replied to writer but repeat to list. I had my tech service people make metal strainers using fine metal mesh soldered to a metal handle, similar to flat tea strainers. Different sizes can easily be made so that even large organs can be processed. These can be washed and sterilized between use. I have some that have been in continual use for the last twenty years, very cost affective! Cheers Lesley Mrs. Lesley Barber Edith Margaret Collie Centre for Blood Cell Therapies Div.
